Ectoplasm Has No Topology: The Prelude

High Energy Physics - Theory 2012-08-27 v1

Abstract

Preliminary evidence is presented that a long overlooked and critical element in the fundamental definition of a general theory of integration over curved Wess-Zumino superspace lies with the imposition of ``the Ethereal Conjecture'' which states the necessity of the superspace to be topologically ``close'' to its purely bosonic sub-manifold. As a step in proving this, a new theory of integration of closed super p-forms is proposed.
